It was filmed on location at Thoresby Hall, Nottinghamshire, England. It starred future Clueless actress Rachel Blanchard as Dinah. Summary Set in an international boarding school in England, Stansfield Academy. Oliver Cross, a teenager, is the admired school king cool when, at the start of a new term, two things occur to change the situation: Stansfield becomes mixed-sex (or co-ed, as the US people have it) and a new teenage male pupil, Chris Hilton, joins the fray, immediately becoming popular with the girls and a clear challenge to Cross's established authority. Neither Chris nor Cross like school very much so they decide to join forces to liven up the hitherto stuffy foundation, playing practical jokes galore. They represent a formidable team: Cross is black and has built his status on the back of his wisecracking and his abilities as a DJ; Chris is the US white athlete, a perfect student. Bossy fellow pupil Dinah is the headmaster's granddaughter.
